Antonio Conte hails Newcastle ace who 'saved' Eddie Howe vs Tottenham

Antonio Conte has hailed Nick Pope following his 'amazing' saves against Tottenham last night.

Spurs struggled with a 1-2 defeat to Eddie Howe's side in Premier League's matchday 13 on Sunday, October 23.

Newcastle, who moved to the fourth place in the domestic table, has become the first team to beat the Londoners at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium since April.

After the match, the Italian manager has made an admission to the opponent's goalkeeper after his mindblowing performance.

The 30-year-old made a move to St. James' Park during this summer transfer window for a £10m fee from Burnley.

After the opening 12 matches, the Englishman now has the joint-most clean sheets(5) in the league alongside Manchester City's Ederson.

“In the end I think that at least a draw was the fair result in this game. We started very well and created chances to score, but I think their goalkeeper has made two amazing saves.

“In our best moment they scored a strange goal, that I don’t want to comment about the decision.

“In a few minutes we conceded a second goal and then in the second half the mood wasn’t so high.

“But my players showed great a reaction and commitment. I don’t have anything to complain about their attitude.

“The first moment was very positive for us as we created many chances, but only Pope saved Newcastle.” added Conte via BBC.
